People have personalities, interesting faces and unique attributes. This makes them a perfect subject for photographers and has done since photography began. We form ideas of people through photos of them; we can relate to them, we can empathise with them and we can admire them. At our latest workshop “Proper Portraits”, we explored how photographing different people can emphasise their individuality when photographed in the same way. Some of these individualities are subtle; like body language and posture, however some are more noticeable, like expression.

The set of images below is the first of two parts from the workshop. Stay tuned for part two soon…
